You’ve been dating awhile. You can stand the long strands of hair she leaves all over your bathroom. She doesn’t mind when you lay around all day watching football and drinking (which in and of itself would make a lot of guys think they had found the one). You don’t mind that she has an incessant desire to make facebook an integral part of your day-to-day lives. She could not care less that you get more excited about a new variation of Call of Duty than you do Valentine’s Day.

Sure, I’m minimizing the depth of your relationship a bit, but you’re here because you’ve got it in your mind that you may have found the one (or the 2nd, 3rd, 4th – hey, we don’t discriminate here at GtB) for you. Having gone through this, I know that these thoughts can make life pretty stressful. One of our goals at GtB is to help you overcome this stress and clear whatever obstacles stand between you and a perfect proposal.

There are a lot of things to consider when you’re asking someone to spend the rest of their lives with you. The obvious question – are you compatible – comes to mind. But there are so many beyond that. What kind of ring should you buy? How much should you spend? Where should you ask her? What should you say? Should you ask her father for his blessing? Should you hire a photographer/videographer to document the moment?

That’s just the tip of the iceberg. If you’ve truly found the one, you’re in for a treat. Life can be made so much better with a partner who’s right for you. But don’t be lazy. Read around our site and take these tips to heart. We’ll likely be able to save you time, money, and frustration. Who wouldn’t love that?
